DR O NE

Canary drone completes new tests

at Edmonton International Airport

he Canary drone completed its new route from
TEdmonton International Airport (YEG) to Montana
First Nation’s Akamihk Medical Clinic in the City of Leduc.
The Canary will fly 10.15 km from YEG to the
Akamihk Medical Clinic along rail lines. The goal of
expanding the route and partners means YEG will
continue to move forward toward bringing drones
closer to a sustainable commercialised mode of trans-
port. The future goal is to deliver final-mile packages
for e-commerce businesses, removing vehicles from
the road, reducing congestion and helping to control
air pollution and emissions.
Drones that operate at the airport go through an
extensive Hazard Identification Risk Assessment Pro-
gramme (HIRA), which is YEG’s safety programme
with safety, compliance and operations teams
before they can fly.
YEG began regularly scheduled commercial drone
delivery operations in controlled airspace in May 2022.
